Thanks, so nice of you! Will be refreshing the page 
And well, if everything done with the DFAM goes towards gritty stuff, thatās pretty telling in itself 
mines scheduled to be delivered within 2 hours. oh boy

i would imagine this is the first thing anyone would do, surely?
I may be speaking out of my ass, since I havenāt played with one yet but for people so hung up on the 8steps sequencer the answer seems to be in the manual : Your new Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM) is a highly-interactive, Semi-Modular Analog Percussion Synthesize {ā¦} DFAM presents a uniquely expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation.
Youāre not really supposed to take you hands off it; the 8 steps arenāt so much a limitation in this case, as brilliantly showcased by Mylar :
Of course it is semi modular so itās wide open for further mangling and sequencing but it is really impressive what comes out of such a seemingly āsimpleā sequencer.

always trusting mr mylar melody when he is shaking with his hands and saying
This
Is
Ace
so it was the final video I watched befor ordring
and you are totaly right! as soon as your programmed 8 steps sequence beginns to sound a little boring after a minute or two, you start instantly tweaking and tweaking and tweaking ā¦ and oh wow is already 2 hours later and the bootle of beer is still full.

Thatās a good point. For me, there are many things beyond that application Iād like to do. For instance, I think the DFAM probably lends itself really well to random clicks, crackles and zings here and there to add some spice to a track. Thatās something the built-in sequencer doesnāt really do all that well, even though there are ways to do something in that vein.
So, youāre right: What Mylar is doing there is brilliant. But thereās even more to be had by integrating it with other sequencers

Certainly, my remark was mainly concerned with using it as a mostly stand alone instrument. By the way, if you are into clicks, crackles and zings (and have a modular already) you should check WMDās Chimera and Fracture; two incredible percussive modules aimed at (but certainly not restricted to -the promo videos are good but donāt showcase their true versatility) hats and claps respectively. I personally love them.
Anyway, canāt really wait to have my DFAM; next Tuesday hopefully

Ah, right, makes sense.
Canāt wait to hear what you do with it - I think it fits your style perfectly!
Bugger, all this chat about this machine has piqued my interest. . .
However, I run Octatrack and Digitone . . . These machines wonāt sequence the DFAM and Ableton is my other goto.
Our am I missing something?

Well, some audio interfaces are DC coupled, which means they can be used for control voltages. Or, you could always go for a CV.OCD.
Probably just a MIDI-CV converter. Iām sure Moog would love for you to buy a Mother 32 for that role ;).
I kind of wish I hadnāt forgotten about the CV.OCD before ordering the Korg SQ-1, since it does Hz/V as well as V/octave. OTOH, the SQ-1 was on sale, and it does have a sequencer.

Can we all agree to just stop posting on this thread so I donāt keep getting reminded how much I want this stinkboxā¦?
Oh wait, oops

If it is just for clocking duties then a click from the OT will do the job just fine. Otherwise the CV.OCD is indeed your best bet.
That Mylar guy deserves a sub, I loved his video about the 0-Coast, thanks for sharing !
The epic techno jam I just witnessed confirmed I need myself a DFAM. Good thing I have one on the way

The SQ-1 seems pretty ideal for the DFAM. Has reset, can do 16 steps, can turn steps on/offā¦ Youāll be happy with it, I think

First, sweet jam!
Second (and apologies if itās already been covered), but WHAT is that stand system!? It looks great and would be perfect for me. Where can I get one?
Thanks!
Cheers for the pointers.
I think Iād want to sequence the little bugger with an external sequencer so Iāll look at the suggested products.
I hate the fact thereās always solutions! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
